Detailed Description

Allow developers to launch SystemTap scripts on their C/C++ projects directly from Eclipse. Provides a launch wizard for easy launches, as well as a few prebuilt scripts. The included graphical viewing program generates a program graph displaying time information for function calls. Also comes with the ability to annotate functions, allowing the user to mark graph nodes and displaying user-specified, function-specific information on the graph.

Benefit to Fedora

Scope

Adds a small plugin family to Eclipse

Test Plan

Run upstream unit tests

User Experience

Users of Eclipse's CDT tools will be able to select Profile As and select one of several prebuilt SystemTap scripts, or launch a custom script through the script launch Wizard.
